The hero sheets should be available as free downloads under the "Download Demo" section of the game's store page (https://dbisdorf.itch.io/save-the-universe). If you don't see them there, let me know and I'll dig into it.

I've just released Professor Pinball's Castle, a pinball game for Windows and Linux.
https://dbisdorf.itch.io/professor-pinballs-castle
The game has several challenge events, end-of-ball bonus scores, and a dot-matrix display. It's also open-source, and if you want to build it yourself or use the code for your own Godot-based pinball game, you can find the source here: https://github.com/dbisdorf/professor-pinball.
Hi there! I just downloaded and gave your game a spin. It's certainly bright and dynamic, and the music is catchy. It wasn't quite for me, though, because of the following:
- Because the block colors were all similar shades, the block wall was graphically uninteresting for me. Also, I thought the basic rectangular layout of the blocks (at least in the first two levels) was dull. These elements made game play, at times, feel monotonuos to me.
- A couple of game elements weren't obvious. For instance, it wasn't clear that the TNT block caused me to lose the ball, since there was no visual feedback when I grabbed the TNT. The ball and paddle simply reset. Also, it wasn't obvious when I lost a game, since the game simply restarted without telling me.
- I found a couple of the graphic effects disagreeable. I found the screen shake a little annoying. And the stretch/wobble of the paddle made it difficult for me to accurately gauge the size of the paddle, which made it difficult for me to hit the ball at high velocities. I couldn't get past the Super Breakout level because of this.
It's cool that you live-streamed development of this and are offering the code as open-source. Looking forward to see future versions of this!
Save the Universe is a tabletop sci-fi adventure roleplaying game in which the players create their own great galactic menace and then portray the brave heroes battling against it.

My laptop has an AMD Radeon RX 560 and an Intel HD Graphics 630. When I run the game using the Radeon, I can see the intro, but after the intro, the actual game (starting with the door bell) is just a black screen.
As an experiment, I switched the game over to the Intel graphics processor, and the game works just fine there.
The AMD Radeon RX 560 driver is version 22.19.128.0, dated 7/25/2017.
Now that I know how to get the game to work, I'm OK, and if no one else is having this problem, maybe it's not important.
